Tea! This subreddit is for discussion of beverages made from soaking camellia sinensis leaves (or twigs) in water, and, to a lesser extent, herbal infusions, yerba mate, and other tisanes. Talk about your favorite place to buy tea, the growers and farms, processing methods, vendors, or equipment. There's a whole world of tea out there beyond the humble (yet handy) bag, and this is a great place to learn!

If you are having trouble getting started, the r/tea FAQ includes many topics such as:

I'm surprised the two main classes of pu'er were not mentioned: sheng and shu. The wikipedia article is pretty good. They really are completely different teas especially young sheng compared to shu. Any discussion on pu'er must make this distinction early on.

That being said pu'er is awesome but definitely an acquired taste. There is high demand for good pu'er in China and Hong Kong so vendors there don't have much an incentive to give deals to people selling abroad since good prices can be fetched close to home! As a result much of the pu'er found here(even those branded "premium" from well known vendors) is quite mediocre. Some of it is just plain bad.

Shu(aka cooked or ripe) pu'er is probably the more approachable and definitely affordable one. Get lots of samples to get an idea of tastes. If you're used to sweet teas, shu pu'er will taste like muddy river water(I love it!). Make sure to do one or two rinses before drinking the tea.

It's not a bad article, though I would not recommend the use of the word "ceremony" to describe gongfu cha. "Technique" might be more accurate because every step has a purpose whereas "ceremony" is best kept to Japanese tea houses.

Out of all the tea I drink, it is mostly shu pu'er. Why? I can drink it any time of the day. There are very low levels of caffeine, so I can drink it at night and not worry about not being able to sleep. There's also such a huge variety of Pu'er that it never gets old. I like that it's getting more popular. Although the article isn't 100% correct when saying that pu'er is expensive. Some of the best pu'er I've had was cheap. You don't need to drop a ton of money for some decent shu.
